My Marathon Montage

"If you feel bad at 10 miles, you're in trouble. If you feel bad at 20 miles, you're normal. If you don't feel bad at 26 miles, you're abnormal."

~ Rob de Castella, on marathon racing

I have put together a photo montage of my typical marathon experience. Not only am I seeking out the joy of running, but, I truly believe there has to be some humor in all of this to lighten things up. Because, really, without a little humor, what's the point? Okay, and if I'm being totally honest here, I had more time this week than usual on account of my taper. Who knows what would happen if I had this much time on a regular basis. Not that I need to worry about it. 1 day, 42 minutes, 56 seconds to go. See you on the flip side.

this is great. I am running with music this weekend. I never run with music unless it's an easy 3-6 mile or so. I have put together what I think should be a great playlist to get me through the whole 26.2. Should be fun. Best of luck this weekend! Can't wait to read the RR!

Nice!! I hope it helps motivate/distract/energize/ you the way it does for me. What marathon is it??
